The History of Anschutz

On the first of July in 1856, the son of the master gunsmith Johann Heinrich Gottlieb Anschütz, Julius Gottfried Anschütz founded the company J.G. ANSCHÜTZ in Zella-Mehlis, Thuringia. Forty years later, they relocated from the small workshop to their first factory with 76 employees. The founder of the J.G. ANSCHÜTZ company passed away in 1901. His sons Fritz and Otto took over their father's work. The latter died in 1923. The company was continued by Fritz August Anschütz supported by his two sons Max Fritz and Rudolf Charles Anschütz, the third ANSCHÜTZ generation. The factory was closed down and then destroyed and seized after the war.

1950 was the year of a fresh start in the Danube Bastion in Ulm where the company J.G. ANSCHÜTZ GmbH was founded. 7 people and 20 machines initially handled air pistols and gun repairs; afterward, Flobert rifles (rimfire rifles) and Match rifles were added. After the first sport shooting success, further successes came one after the other. Max Schmeling, a former boxing champion, also competed for Germany on the clay pigeon shooting national team. He was familiar with ANSCHÜTZ rifles because he was a target shooter and a hunter. He purchased some of them in Ulm and even suggested a change in the company's logo.

Dieter Anschütz, a member of the fourth generation, took over management in 1968 and proved himself as a good leader. The catchphrase "DIE MEISTER MACHER" was born out of the achievements of the ANSCHÜTZ target actions across the globe. It still holds true today. As managing director since 1992, Jochen Anschütz continues to administer the company with the aid of his son.

Anschutz 1727 F Rifle Review

Anschutz 1727 F is a straight-pull rimfire rifle with incredible precision. The action is essentially a modified version of an action from a comparable Anschutz biathlon 1827 F model. Both are manufactured by Fortner, which works on Anschutz's behalf, resulting in a premium rifle targeted for the hunting market.

The receiver is equipped with an 11 mm dovetail rail that is screwed into the surface with six holes (usually as two bases screwed into two holes each), four in the back of the mounting surface and two in the front. Anschutz 1727 F's bolt is designed with seven steel balls, helping the rifle achieve its implausible reloading speed. The magazine is detachable and holds up to five cartridges. To further improve the already great rifle, it is also equipped with a two-stage Match grade trigger.

The rifle's barrel measures about 560 mm (22 inches), while its overall length equals 1040 mm (40.9 inches).
